(JTA) — Ivanka Trump visited a Holocaust memorial in Berlin, hours after she was booed at the G20 women’s summit in the German capital for defending her father’s record on advocacy for women’s rights.
Trump visited the Memorial to the Murdered Jews in Europe late on Tuesday afternoon, walking through the concrete slabs or “stelae” with U.S. Embassy personnel and security guards.
Her visit to the memorial came a day after she released a statement in recognition of Yom Hashoah, or Holocaust Remembrance Day.

“I want my children to live in a world where every country and its leaders pledge to ensure a genocide like the Holocaust will never happen again. I want them to grow up in a world where people are tolerant, inclusive and loving toward one another,” she said in her statement.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
